Hilton Spencer Academy at a glance

Located in Derbyshire, Hilton Spencer Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 583 pupils aged 3 to 11. 69% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 29% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Hilton Spencer Academy their first choice was offered one of its 65 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.5%. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Hilton Spencer Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
